Chapter 493 Idiot
The female family member who fell first was also found. Although she hesitated and did not dare to say it directly, she was sure that it was Concubine Xue who stepped on her skirt, and there were witnesses nearby.
The concubines were originally following the empress, and the female relatives were behind the concubines, but the empress smiled and said that everyone didn't need to be restrained and didn't care about the rules. They just needed to be together as they were familiar with each other. Everyone knew that the empress was kind and generous. Others might have said this just as a talk, but the empress definitely meant it.
Many of the concubines' families also came, or their former close friends. It was rare to see them on weekdays, so having a chance to talk was better than being bored all day. When they talked and laughed, their pace naturally changed.
Concubine Xue was not in a hurry and fell behind.
The evidence was solid and there was no doubt that Concubine Xue had murdered the Empress. The Emperor was furious and stripped Concubine Xue of her title and status and demoted her to a commoner. However, considering that she had saved the Empress Dowager's life, she was exempted from being sent to the cold palace. However, the bedroom she lived in was sealed from then on and she was under house arrest for the rest of her life, and was not allowed to go out again.
Marquis Rong'an did not educate his daughter properly, which almost caused a disaster. He was demoted to Earl Rong'an and was not allowed to inherit the title.
In other words, when Earl Rong'an died, Xue Han would no longer have a title to inherit, and the Xue family would no longer be a member of the powerful family.
Mr. and Mrs. Rong An felt like the sky was falling!
Xue Han also felt like the sky was falling.
He was a good son of a marquisate, and now he had nothing left? How could he face people in the future and survive in the capital?
Concubine Xue was also unwilling to accept the situation and cried and made a fuss to protest her injustice, but her stubborn words were of no use.
The evidence is conclusive, and her protesting her innocence won't change anything.
The emperor did not want the matter to get to the point of bloodshed, as it was unlucky. Otherwise, he would send her to the Ministry of Punishment, where they had plenty of means to make her tell the truth.
Nanny Lu killed people and broke their hearts. She even asked someone to tell Concubine Xue what happened to her family. Concubine Xue was so angry that her chest hurt.
Endless fear arose in her heart. What should she do with the rest of her life?
Her family, implicated as she was, would definitely not care about her affairs anymore—and even if they wanted to, they couldn't. So what about her? Would she just spend her days in despair?
Concubine Xue suddenly thought of Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang, and found an opportunity to send a message to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother was also very angry. She had such a good chess piece, but before it could be of any use, she ended up ruining herself.
She plotted to murder the empress and the heir to the throne, and even the empress dowager was unable to plead for her.
She could only find another way to support others.
Poor her good grandson Yulang, why did he suffer so many disasters and injustices like his father?
When the letter from Concubine Xue came, the Queen Mother was very upset. She didn't want to read it, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Xuepin is so shameless, and you still have the nerve to beg her? She didn't tell the truth when she came here before, and now it's useless to flatter her face and cry.
The Queen Mother ordered Nanny Jiang to destroy the letter.
Nanny Jiang agreed. She was afraid that Concubine Xue might have said something important, so she opened the letter and took a look before burning it. If it was just a cry for mercy, then she would ignore it.
Unexpectedly——
After reading the letter carefully, Nanny Jiang was shocked and hurried to see the Queen Mother with the letter.
"Empress Dowager! You should take a look at Concubine Xue's letter."
"Did the letter say anything of importance?"
The Queen Mother didn't believe it. She was also disdainful. What could be so important about Concubine Xue?
Nanny Jiang was filled with doubt and uncertainty. She held up the letter with both hands and said, "The Empress Dowager will know at a glance."
The Empress Dowager was really aroused by Nanny Jiang's curiosity, and she was stunned when she saw it.
Lady Xu, wife of Marquis Wuxuan, is the eldest daughter of Earl Rong'an?
The Queen Mother quickly understood Concubine Xue's plan.
If Xu was the daughter of Earl Rong'an, and Marquis Wuxuan had made such great contributions, wasn't it a bit too much for the emperor to treat the Xue family like this?
Regardless of anything else, for the sake of Marquis Wuxuan's face, he should not punish the Xue family so mercilessly.
After all, the queen and the prince in her womb are fine, right?
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sneer: "This is very interesting! I didn't expect that the wife of Marquis Wuxuan is actually Xue's sister. Great, this is really great."
Xu is Xue's sister. Marquis Wuxuan is naturally on the side of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion. If Marquis Wuxuan doesn't support Xue, who else can he support?
They want to stand on the Queen's side, but does the Queen dare to trust them?
The Queen Mother immediately ordered Madam Jiang to question Mrs. Xue in detail.
"Tell her this is her only chance. Tell her whatever you ask. If she dares to hide anything again, she will never step out of the palace again and will die of old age in it."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
After Xue sent the letter, she waited anxiously with her eyes wide open.
The moment she saw Nanny Jiang, she was surprised, happy and excited, and she knew that she had made the right bet.
"I knew the Queen Mother would not give up on me. The Queen Mother still remembers me!"
Madam Jiang felt disdainful and bowed lightly to Madam Xue. She said politely, "Madam Xue, the Empress Dowager has sent this old servant to question me. Please answer whatever I ask. Please be sure to tell me the truth. If there is even a single lie, the Empress Dowager has said she will not take care of the matter. Madam Xue, you can only wish yourself the best."
Xue was worried, "Yes, yes, I will remember this. I dare not hide it from the Queen Mother."
Nanny Jiang nodded. "Then please tell us in detail, Madam Xue. How did the wife of Marquis Wuxuan become Madam Xue's sister? How did Madam Xue know about this? Did the Earl of Rong'an and his wife know about this? If they knew, why didn't they recognize the wife of Marquis Wuxuan?"
Nanny Jiang couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You're stupid!" Wuxuan Hou is the emperor's favorite, a powerful figure. Doesn't Xue know this? Doesn't she know that recognizing her is equivalent to winning over Wuxuan Hou's mansion?
There is a lot to do here.
Xue choked.
She didn't explain the whole story clearly, but she knew about 70% of it.
But how do I say this?
She hated Xu Zhichun very much and was also jealous of her. She wished that she would live out her life in exile and never be able to return to the Xue family to elevate herself.
She is the only eldest daughter of the Xue family!
But now, she was the one who took the initiative to expose this matter, and she needed her help to turn things around.
It’s really depressing to think about it!
Nanny Jiang didn't hear her speak for a while, so she guessed that there must be something fishy going on. She frowned and said, "If Madam Xue doesn't want to talk about it, then think about it carefully first. I'll come back another day."
"No, no! Mammy, don't go!"
Who knew when this "someday" would be postponed? Xue knew she didn't have that much time to wait.
Nanny Jiang was suspicious and said, "If that's the case, Madam Xue, please speak quickly. I only listen to the truth. If it's not the truth, I can't reply to the Queen Mother."
"yes"
Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell everything.
It's really hard to not dare to tell the truth while trying to beautify it.
